Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) joins a clique of A-list girls known as "The Plastics", but then makes the mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennet), the ex-boyfriend of "Plastics" leader Regina George (Rachel McAdams).
Review:
Let me stat off by saying that I am not a fan of these type of films and I have been avoiding this movie for longer than I can remember. However, the other day, I decided to give it a try, and it was actually not a bad film at all.
For the most part, it's pretty smart and clever and quite entertaining and has a bit of social satire. While it is not exactly "laugh out loud", it is often a bit funny at times. Also, the dialogue is quite memorable.
I liked the characters. The A-list girls, while often up to no good, are quite likeable. It is also well acted and I think the cast portrayed their roles quite well. I liked Lindsay Lohan in this. Amanda Seyfried, as a first time actress did quite a good job here. Amy Pohler is entertaining and funny as usual.
The one problem that I had with the film is that while the humor is often clever and funny, I felt that it needed a little more work and it could have been funnier.
I am normally not a fan of chick flicks, but I thoroughly enjoyed Mean Girls and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of comedies.
Max Scale:
8/10
